Looks like Brannagan isn't going to get much of chance. Although Lemon has been pretty unspectacular (71.8 passer rating in the NFL). But I guess good QB's don't go undrafted, and then get cut by four teams. I'm looking forward to a rotating mess of incompetent starting qb's for Arrrghh's this season.
Hands up if you believe Mr. Lemon actually uttered the words attributed to him in the press release:
Signing with the Toronto Argonauts is a great opportunity with a great organization," said Lemon in a media release. "Now it is my responsibility to be in the best shape of my life and learn as much about the Canadian game as possible before I hit the field. I'm excited about this opportunity and intend to take full advantage of it. I believe in preparation and will go full steam ahead in doing my part to help lead this team to future success.
I wish him luck though. Think of the puns we can all make if he becomes the starter!
If he meant to type “caché”, he’s still wrong. Caché (with the accent aigu) isn’t a word in English, and in French it isn’t a noun, but the past participle of the verb “cacher” and can be used as an adjective meaning “hidden”. “Cachet” in English means “prestige”, and is derived from a French usage meaning “stamp” or “seal”.
He sounds like a great guy and doesnt have the big ego that guys like Timmy Chang and Mcmahon had. Hopefully he becomes a star up here because the league needs it and it's great that Flutie is spreading the word and pointing guys in this direction.
For the last few years almost every team in the NFL is becoming a lot more pass dominant. The use of schemes is also a lot more prominent now and they are a very CFL thing. The transition these days is a lot easier than it used to be.
I also sometimes see CFL style offenses in the NCAA which is where every NFL QB comes from.
